Hi

Download and run Look2Me-Destroyer: http://www.atribune.org/content/view/28/
After your pc is restarted post the tools log along with a fresh hijackthis log

[Jmade]

Thank you for your help. I ran Look2Me, have the same problems. Here is the new Hijackthis log. By the way, I now get errors on startup looking for log items F2 & F3 (ramsys.exe & useinit.exe, whatever they are).

sorry, i'm not sure what the "tools log" is you wanted posted as well. if it's the .txt made by Look2me, I think i deleted it when i reopened Look2me (looking for a tools log option/button) .....

[LonnyRJones]

The log would have opend on its own after the pc was restarted

Start Hijackthis and place a check next to these items If there.

====================================
Hit fix checked and close Hijackthis.

Make a new folder at this location,
C:\ called "BFU"
Download Brute Force Uninstaller. By Merijn author of Hijackthis.
http://www.merijn.org/files/bfu.zip
Unzip it to it’s own folder (c:\BFU)
Doubleclick on BFU.exe, Click the round green icon (open script URL)
copy then paste in


http://metallica.geekstogo.com/alcanshorty.bfu

Press execute and let it do it’s job.
Wait for the complete script execution box to popup and press OK.
Press exit to exit the BFU program.
If the script is really executed you should have seen a progress bar, and
there should be a file called alcanshorty.bfu next to Bfu.exe later tell me if it is there ?
If you have any questions about the use of BFU please read here:
http://metallica.geekstogo.com/BFUinstructions.html

Restart the PC
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

What version of SpyBot do you have ?
Post a fresh Hijackthis log

[Jmade]

Done. BFU did create a new file. Spybot 1.4. still having problems after startup. Here's the new hijack log and thank you so much for your help:

"still having problems after startup"

What problems ?

Next step since it appears you have no antivirus

Install atleast a free anti virus
Dont make the common mistake of installing more than one anti virus or firewall
AVG Anti-Virus-Free: http://www.grisoft.com/us/us_dwnl_free.php
AntiVir Personal Edition: http://www.free-av.com/
avast! 4 Home - Free antivirus software :

Do a full system scan and let it deal with any crappies it detects.

the problem i'm having is non-stop popups. when i start the computer I'll get about a dozen. Then every 3 minutes or so I'll get another parade of them.

I think we fixed it! so far so good. thank you so much for your help. I will be donating.

[LonnyRJones]
